Protecting websites from online attacks and cyber threats is one of the
most pressing security challenges today. For example, data from
Limelight’s State
of Cybersecurity Report: SE Asiashows
consumers are very concerned about the security of ecommerce sites, with
72 percent saying they have a negative opinion of a brand after hearing
that it has suffered a cyberattack. In addition, 51 percent of online
websites feel they are vulnerable to attacks that could have significant
financial and brand implications, despite having protections already in
place.

Limelight DDoS Attack Interceptor (DAI) is a comprehensive, multi-layer
solution that offers protection from even the largest and most complex
DDoS attacks before they can impact website performance. DAI provides
layers of defense, including detection of malicious traffic and
proactive notification. The new capabilities add high-capacity
on-network scrubbing for fast mitigation even while under attack.

By integrating DDoS mitigation capabilities directly into Limelight’s
massive global private network infrastructure, attack traffic can be
scrubbed in multiple regional locations at high capacity without needing
to be diverted to a separate network and returned to the Content
Delivery Network (CDN) for delivery. Limelight provides superior
delivery performance, even under the largest DDoS attacks.

Limelight offers multiple DDoS attack detection and prevention options,
making it easy for customers to choose the appropriate level of
protection. In addition to a standard DAI offering, Limelight is now
providing two additional DDoS protection levels:

An entry-level offering with integrated monitoring and per-mitigation
pricing is available for organizations that need to monitor the
frequency of DDoS attacks and be prepared to respond when necessary

A premium offering with unlimited mitigations is available for
organizations that want the assurance of mitigating multiple DDoS
attacks for a fixed price

All levels include multiple detection locations at the edge of the CDN
for faster detection, and attack mitigation by a dedicated 24/7 security
operations center.

To make it easy for organizations that are not currently protected by a
DDoS solution to monitor the frequency of attacks and quickly respond
when necessary, customers who sign up for Limelight’s per-incident DDoS
mitigation protection will receive their first DDoS mitigation free of
charge for a limited time.

“Today, almost every type of online service is at risk for
cyber-attacks. At best, a DDoS attack will cause inconvenience -- at
worst it can bring down an entire business,” said Steve Miller-Jones,
Senior Director of Product Management at Limelight Networks. “DDoS
Attack Interceptor offers a range of options and price points to help
online organizations guard their web presence. With the addition of our
new capabilities, Limelight’s DDoS mitigation capability is more
scalable and faster than ever.”
